I kind of like the yellow color, makes me feel like I've been with my system a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time, which I have.

I came across an article a few years ago, it's a pretty interesting and informative read.

'Why Super Nintendos Lose Their Color: Plastic Discoloration in Classic Machines'

My SNES still looks brand new without even a hint of yellowing. Just lucky I guess.

I've got 2 NESs a SNES model 1 and model 2 and none of them have yellowed at all. I really would like to know why. I wonder if it's just a model that wont yellow or because of the atmosphere they're in.

I think it's just that the early and/or mid model 1's are prone to yellowing. The later ones don't yellow, from what I've seen.
